THE IRISH CRISIS.

THE IRISH CRISIS.
The wholesale arrests Of the prin-
clpals in the Irish agitation leave no
doubt as to The intention Of BalfOur to
smother the Irish National League, if
such a thing lies within the range of
possibility. The only two leaders who
have not vet been threatened with ar
rest are Mr.. Parneli and Mr.. Davitt.
Why they should escape the indignities
consequent upon a two or three
months sojourn in one Of Her Ma
jpsty's prisons is quite evident. Nh.
parnen has carefully, and it might be
said discreetly in the light Of past
events, absta1ned from an active par
ticipation in the public deliberations of
the Irish Nationalist party. Ill-health
was one reason why he did this, but
even if his health had rot necessitated
such absence, he probably would not
have acted otherwise. In the case Of
Mr. Dayitt it might be said that
that gentleman has avoided everything
that would afford Balfour, no matter
how wi}fully unjust the misconstruc
tion of the law might be, q pretext for
arresting him. But the time has now
arrived when MIR. Parnell must come
forward The last Of Mr.. Davitt's
assistants will, in all probability, in the
course Of q few days be under lock and
KEY, for it is said that lion-hearted John
Dillon will enjoy such luxury upon his
return FROM England. At this juno
ture it becomes necessary for some
to lead in the the Irish cam
paigu. and there is only one
man available who can undertake
the trying position and carry it to a
successful Issue. C,That man is Charles
Stuart Parneli. He has rendered in
valuable service to the Home Ru]e party
under like circumstances in the past,
and without doubt will come forward
at this critical moment--,from the sick
bed, if necessary--and lead his party.
He is coo}-headed and conservative, and
is inst the man for the present ener-
gency. In Mr.. Tarnell is to be found
the necessary qualifications to maintain
the discipline Of the Irish forces. It is
in q crisis like the present chat the
great Irish patriot shows to best adyan-
tage. 1T is safe to say that he will,
within the course of a week Or so, be
again in the midst of the great struggle
for Irish legislative independence.
At present the greatest difficulty con-
sists in not having sufficient money on
hand to defeat the aims Of the Tory
Government. ANY trouble between
the Dublin Castle crowd and the peo-
ple would at once render it necessary
to send ON the 'ssinews Of WARP Rev.
Father O'BeiliY, OF Detroit, however,
will soon haze $50, 900 to send to "the
men in the gap" We trust the friends
of Ireland scattered over the United
States will join hands in the good cause
OF Irish regeneration. In all probability
not q year will pass before there is a
dissolution of parliament, and then the
friends Of Ireland IN the United King
dom will he knocking at the doors of
the House of Commons for the admis
sion Of the Emerald Isle to an elevated
rank among the nations Of Che world,

Yes, sir.
The constitutional amendment re-.
ferred to proposes TO give ilmitei
time within which outstanding oonhs
NAV be funded in new BE. All not 10
funded will be repudiated-that IS To
saw. all future legislatures are forever
prohibited from making any provision
for them.
To make this amendment a part OF
the Constitution il must be agreed 10
by two General Assemblies and adopted
by the people. Al this can be done IN
twelve months.
There is also proposition to reduce
taxes from 40 to % or 20 cents on tne
dollar. BY many it is contended that
il is useless TO levy taxes for interest
when the bondholders won't take the
interest offered.

Talking about the wonderful revo!n'
ton of opinion in the minds OF tse
commission within two days, member
of the legislative committee said last
nicht that it was utterly incompre-
hepsible to them; that on Friday aud
Saturday everything seemed to be 60
ing on smoothly, and on yesterday
came proposition actually claiming
more money than ever, and embody-
ing features which absolutely forbade
its acceptance. If the proposition
had been millions lower il was too re-
pulsive to popular feeling in Virginia
ever to have secured acceptance.
OPINION.
The general opinion of members of
the Legislature Is that "a malign in
fuence" has been at work, and that
"the tentative nose" of a certain
well-known politician has broken up
the prospect Of q settlement.
The Rhea constitutional amendment
limiting the time for funding in new

day. Unless something unforeseen
occurs it will pass.

The legislative committee, which pre-
pared the preliminary report (of which
the above IS synopsis), WAS in session
until II o'clock last night. For the
first time they gave information to the

as to the offers made aud rejected may
be regarded as official, though not in
